Shortly afterward, they found the vehicle but its passenger, a man in his 20s, had bailed on foot, the sergeant said.
“(Police) started canvassing the neighborhood looking for the suspect that had run from the traffic stop and found the gentleman walking down the 200 block of West Parkwood Avenue. Officers made contact with him and he began to actively resist the police, which forced them to go to the ground,” he said.
Officers found a loaded firearm in the suspect’s waistband and a large amount of drugs in his pocket, Halburnt said.
